Until you saw this number of The Chameleon did you know any thing about the story, “The Priest and the Acolyte”?
Nothing at all.
Upon seeing the story in print, did you communicate with the editor?
The editor came to see me at the Café Royal to speak to me about it.
Did you approve of the story of “The Priest and the Acolyte”?
I thought it bad and indecent, [15] ]and I strongly disapproved of it.
Was that disapproval expressed to the editor?
Yes.
Oscar Wilde was then cross-examined by Mr. Carson for the defence.
